We present a case of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, who underwent 99mTc-PSMA scintigraphy as part of his initial staging workup. The scan revealed a focal uptake in the posterior abdominal wall, corresponding to a subcutaneous soft tissue lesion. Further evaluation using SPECT/CT imaging localized the lesion, which was subsequently excised and histopathologically diagnosed as an angiolipoma.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how bladder volume impacts radiation doses to surrounding pelvic organs in cervical cancer patients undergoing treatment.
- Two CT scans were performed on each patient: one with an empty bladder and another with a full bladder, allowing for comparative analysis of radiation dosimetry.
- Results indicated that a full bladder reduced radiation exposure to both the bowel and rectum, suggesting that bladder distention can enhance treatment safety for pelvic organs at risk.
